No real WL, but I've been faithful to 3 weeks of the Couch to 5K Plan, so I'm sticking with the exercise I'm about to start Week 4 (yikes, it's way harder than Week 3, which was way harder than Weeks 1 & 2).

I've also been doing the 100 Pushup Challenge, I'm on Week 2, and can already do more pushups now (about 12 or 13) than when I began (8). Best news is, I've convinced dh to join me in the pushup challenge!

I've been at this workout thing now for a little more than a month. My weight, according to the scales at the gym, seems to stay the same! grrrr...but according to my Wii Fit, my weight is changing. So who knows...I think it's about time for a measurement session though. I'm feeling a bit better about myself most days! I don't seem to notice a huge difference in my size, but I know that i'm getting there and it takes time!

So no idea on actual weight loss yet this week...I weighed myself at the gym last night and it showed 1/2lb difference from when I started. I don't like that scale... I'll hop on my Wii Fit tonight to see what it says!

I have slightly altered my workout/fitness goals when I realized exactly how unrealistic it was. Now, I plan to walk the distance from the Dolphin to the Port and back. - about 130 miles - at least once before the cruise. I should start walking a little farther on my workouts but so far I have managed over 5 miles.

Something I also figured out from wearing a pedometer for a week. On an average day, including 20 minutes on the treadmill, I will take just under 7 000 steps. On a day in which I am working days - I take less than 2 000 steps. I knew I spent a lot of time on my butt at work but I think this takes sedentary to a new level. I did have a dance practice that day so I did not wear it during that - the shimmies would have thrown the count way out.

I will keep at it again this week and see how it goes.

I just wish DD didn't feel the need to sit on the chair and watch me walk. It is wierd. I wear my headphones while I am walking so she gets hers and sits there...
